Q: Does a pay advice slip have to show leave entitlements – specifically, the outstanding amount of leave an employee is entitled to?

A: It is best practice to show an employee’s leave balance on their pay slip, but it is not a requirement. If the employee asks for their leave balance, you must tell them.
